Need your help with choosing a case :)
Hi,
I just got my mini green and was looking for a case..
I know that there are already about a million cases for it but I'm looking for something that protects the mini (and its screen / wheel), yet looks nice and not too bulky.
Therefore, Lajo's Xrap and Zipod are out of the question...
The iSkin mini looks alright but might be too bulky.
So it's either exomini3 or the new ones (Rhino Skin aluminum case or Vaja iVod mini case - though they are on the expensive side) ..
BTW - can anyone tell me the differences between all the Exo's (for mini of course) as I just noticed there are many of them (exomini, exomini3, exomini-fb, exoflpmini... etc..).
Thanks !!

Don't forget the iSkin mini!
# 2 Re: Need your help with choosing a case :)
Even tough it seems like a good case - there's no way I'm going to pay 35$ shipping costs, for something that costs 25$ ...
(Lajo offers international delivery for only 5$)..
In case I order from Lajo .. which is the best case ?

I love the RadTech MiniSleevz. They're great, and they're really thin. They're made out of Optex, a felt-like material that doesn't rip. If you don't want those, I recommend some of Lajos. For scroll wheel protection, the eXo3Mini is good when you buy an iShade. It's extremely thin silicone. The iShade is the screen protector. Also, Lajo's FB models are Flat Back, so no belt clips can be attached to them. Good Luck!

Hmm... yeah the MiniSleevz and exomini3 look like the best choices...
Is there an option for a screen protector for the exomini3 ?
(iShades mini or something like that ?)

Yes, iShade minis will probably be released between 1.5 weeks and a month maybe more. Since the exo3mini is so thin, the iShade mini will stick out a little bit but will barely be noticeable and will still offer great reliability.
# 8 Re: Need your help with choosing a case :)
Ok, I've decided to go with the minisleevz - because of the screen protector and better looks.
Anyway, can anyone post a photo of the minisleevz so I can see how it really looks ?
One more thing - where can I get a pouch that will me to carry the mini+remote+headphones+cables, all together ?

I use a pouch that came with my md-player to hold my mini [radtech minisleevz], earphones, and remote. I can just throw it in my backpack and not have to worry about it getting damaged or scratched

Yeah I had that pouch when I still had my Sony MD-R91...
Any chance where can I get that from ?
Also ... Will the Zipod keep the mini 'safe' from sand and water when going to the beach ?
and about the radtech - is it easy to remove the mini from it ?
Thanks.

Although I do not have any experience with the Zipod case, I wouldn't think that any case could completely protect a mini from sand and water. Your best bet is probably keeping it in a case and then putting that case in like 5 plastic baggies. Always better to be safe than sorry!
